Noncoding RNAs and their influence on maternal mental health: insights into perinatal depression: a review.

Perinatal depression profoundly influences the psychological and physiological well-being of women both during and after pregnancy. This condition encompasses depressive symptoms that manifest as antenatal as well as postnatal depression. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), are integral to various cellular processes and have been implicated in the pathophysiology of perinatal depression.

The role of cholesterol/AlkB homolog 1/Integrin alpha 2b in thrombosis in the placental vessels of preeclampsia†.

The risk of multiple placental thrombosis is significantly elevated in preeclampsia, and the vascular endothelium plays a vital role in coagulation processes through the secretion of Integrin alpha 2b, von Willebrand factor, and tissue factor. However, the underlying pathological mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, placental blood vessels were collected from both preeclampsia and normal pregnancies.

Vav family exchange factors: Potential regulator in atherosclerosis.

The Vav family of guanosine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) regulates the phosphorylation of tyrosinase, influencing various physiological and pathological processes by modulating the binding of Rho GTPases to GDP/GTP. Recent research has highlighted the critical role of Vav family activation in tumorigenesis, neurological disorders, immune-related dysfunctions, and other diseases. This review offers a comprehensive overview of the structure and function of Vav proteins and their significant impact on the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis.

Relationships between different trends of the Mediterranean diet and cardiovascular disease-related risk factors in China: results from the CHNS study, 1997-2009.

Objectives: The present study aimed to explore the associations between Mediterranean diet trajectories (MDTs) and cardiovascular disease-related risk factors in Chinese adults.

Methods: A total of 4,332 participants from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) were included in this study. A group-based trajectory model (GBTM) was used to explore Mediterranean diet trajectories (MDTs).

Glutamine Attenuates Inflammation and Stimulates Amniotic Cell Proliferation in Premature Rupture of Membranes-related in vitro Models.

Premature rupture of membranes (PROM), with a prevalence of 15.3% in China, frequently results in adverse pregnancy outcomes. In this study, we aimed to identify amino acid metabolites that were differentially expressed in PROM versus healthy controls (HC) using targeted metabolomics and further explored their mechanisms of action with in vitro models.

Meta-analysis of the Prognostic Value of microRNA-22 in Leukemia Patients.

The pathogenesis of leukemia is complex and there are no effective diagnostic and prognostic indicators. Previous studies showed that microRNA-22 (miR-22) has altered expression level in multiple leukemia subtypes, which is associated with the survival outcomes of leukemia. According to the constituted retrieval strategy, eligible studies were included from January 2010 to November 2022 by searching database.

Reversal of HO-induced cell death by knockdown of HOTAIR in HTR-8/SVneo cells by mediation of miR-106b-5p/ACSL4 axis.

Preeclampsia is a serious threat to the health of pregnant women. Injury of trophoblasts could contribute to the progression of preeclampsia, and HO was able to induce apoptosis in trophoblasts. LncRNAs have been reported to be involved in the progression of preeclampsia.

Characterization of Vaginal Microbiota in Third Trimester Premature Rupture of Membranes Patients through 16S rDNA Sequencing.

In China, premature rupture of membranes (PROM) counts as a major pregnancy complication in China and usually results into adverse pregnancy outcomes. We analysed the vagina microbiome composition using 16S rDNA V3−V4 amplicon sequencing technology, in this prospective study of 441 women in their third trimester of pregnancy. We first divided all subjects into PROM and HC (healthy control) groups, in order to investigate the correlation of vagina microbiome composition and the development of PROM.

Exosomal Circular RNA hsa_circ_0046060 of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Ameliorates Glucose Metabolism and Insulin Resistance in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus via the miR-338-3p/G6PC2 Axis.

Background: Impaired glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity have been linked to the pathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Exosomes secreted by the umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cells (UMSCs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) derived from exosomes have been shown to be associated with the progression of GDM-related complications.

Methods: UMSCs were isolated from umbilical cords and identified through flow cytometry.

Syncytin-1 nonfusogenic activities modulate inflammation and contribute to preeclampsia pathogenesis.

Maternal cellular and humoral immune responses to the allogeneic fetoplacental unit are a normal part of pregnancy adaptation. Overactive or dysregulated immune responses that often manifest as inflammation are considered a key element for the development of preeclampsia. Infiltration and activation of macrophages, nature killer cells, and T lymphocytes are frequently observed in the decidua and placenta associated with preeclampsia.

[Evaluation of bone marrow biopsy and smear examinations in differential diagnosis for patients with pancytopenia by simultaneously compartive study].

To simultaneously compare and evaluate the examinations of bone marrow smear and trephine biopsy in differential diagnosis and therapeutical effect of pancytopenia patients, the differences between bone marrow smear and trephine biopsy in degree of cellularity, misdiagnosis rate and therapeutical effect for 71 patients with pancytopenia were analyzed. The results showed that the degree of cellularity in bone marrow biopsy for cytologic morphology was higher than that from the smear, but misdiagnosis rate in the biopsy was lower than that in the smear. In conclusion, bone marrow biopsy is necessary to the differential diagnosis and more valuable for evaluation of therapeutical effect and prognosis of pancytopenia patients.
